We are continuously looking to improve our process to ensure that our on-site shredding service is the best in the industry and our clients’ compliance remains intact and their information is protected. As our clients’ information security partner, we also are looking for ways to enhance security in other areas of their business; these services now include hard drive and electronics destruction, on-going business shredding, residential shredding, community events and now a very important solution in the area of Breach Reporting.
Affordable With No Hidden Charges
This service is very affordable, our locations always have trucks on stand-by to do a purge or one-time shredding service for our clients. Unlike many of our competitors, we don’t charge fuel surcharges or any other hidden fees.
